Welp, seeing as the other two Battle threads have fallen by the wayside, I thought we'd step into the void with something a little more Football related.

The battle will be the usual battle layout, Although I did like Benjo's idea with voting for the best 2 out of 4 etc. May go with that. How many we end up having depends how many you guys can nominate, we'll see how it goes.

The only rules:
-Any goal in history is welcome, but make sure it is actually spectacular. Team Goals as well as Individual Brilliance is what we're looking for.
-You must provide VIDEO evidence of your nomination.
-We'll start with a limit of 5 nominations per person. Then if we need to add more numbers at the end, Free for all.
-Make your nominations like this:
"Player vs Team" - Then make this a link to the video.

I'll do my nominations in a sec, so lets get this started. Any questions etc etc.

I think the best thing about the VPL goal is it looks like he's doing a stupid celebration, and then you realise he's actually landed full on his crotch and is probably in a lot of pain :lol:
